Rob Ford does some dodgy math and cuts up his CNE tickets on camera

Over the weekend, the Toronto Sun posted a video of Rob Ford railing against the organizers of the CNE, who had the nerve to send the mayor free passes to this year’s fair. In a bit of grandstanding for the camera, Ford grabbed a pair of scissors and chopped up his free family admission ($48), ride passes ($36 each) and parking passes ($25 a day), calling them “gravy,” and asking, “how does someone like myself who makes $170,000 a year, I get $10,000 worth of perks?” Actually, we worked it out, and, even if the mayor’s whole family went to the CNE every single day from August 17 to September 3, they’d still only rack up $3,906 worth of freebies. And does Ford really plan to go see SuperDogs 18 days in a row? [Toronto Sun]
